When the CHECK_<C|CXX>_COMPILER_FLAG() is called, it uses the output
variable name to write a #define <output variable> statement to some
temporary source file that will get build to check whether the target
flag is supported.

The issue is that CMake variables character set is wider than C or C++
preprocessor #define directive. This causes the compiler to issue a
warning, which is not user facing but logged to the CMake files.

The variables used with these functions then require more sanitizing to
prevent this warning to occur. If CMake changes its behavior and starts
failing the check when a warning is detected that will cause our build
to fail. At the moment, there is no behavior change introduced by this
diff.

cmake -GNinja ..
cat CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log | grep "whitespace after the macro name"

Should return nothing.
